    Summary

    Sir Nancy had long since accepted her fate. For the rest of her life, she was set to serve by Prince Steve’s side, sworn as his loyal knight. Her desires must be set aside; her duty and honor always taking first place.

    Prince Steve knows his place in this world. His days of freedom are over, his future a bargaining chip for political power. All he can do is hope that he can find peace between himself and the woman he is being forced to marry.

    But the Kingdom of Hawkins isn’t what it seems. Something dark lies beneath its dusty surface, and when Nancy discovers that Steve’s betrothed has taken it upon herself to investigate a strange willow deep in the forest, it is simply her duty as Steve’s knight to ensure that her future queen isn’t harmed.

    Meanwhile, Steve has decided that the way to have a happy life is to make peace with his betrothed’s brothers, soon finding that charming the eldest prince will take nothing short of a miracle. And when he starts paying closer attention to the odd behavior of the youngest, he discovers that nothing in Hawkins is as simple as he thought.

    Or; Hawkins is under siege. The royal betrothal is really the least of their worries.

    Summary

    Robin Buckley sees dead people. To her, it’s just one more reason on the long list of reasons why she’s a freak. So far, the only bonus is her best friend, Steve, who died 10 years ago. So, it still kinda sucks.

    Until Will Byers’ body is found in the quarry and she realises she can’t find his ghost anywhere. Will Byers is not dead.

    Something is afoot in Hawkins.

    Summary

    Robin Buckley’s supposed to be a silent wall. An unwavering barrier defending her client from the poisonous fangs and claws of the outside world. A dependable shield who, when doing her job well, is practically invisible despite being in plain sight.

    Usually, she has no issue with any of this. Excels at it all, really. But unfortunately, her current protectee seems fiercely determined to put herself in harm's way, and Robin isn’t sure she’s going to be able to make it through this high-profile gig without racking up a few criminal charges.

    Nancy Wheeler’s supposed to be the perfect daughter. A mild-mannered socialite smiling and waving on cue. A temporary journalist using her college education to write puff pieces until she settles down.

    Much to her parents’ chagrin, Nancy has never been anything like the demure doll they expected her to be, and she has no plans of ever doing so. Not when there’s so much vile corruption and wickedness oozing out of practically every office and facility in the country. Not when she seems to be the only one willing to do anything about it.
